Observability& Monitoring

If a customer is the one telling you something's down, the monitoring already failed. Good observability is more than dashboards: it is the right signals at the right moment, without noise and without your team having to live inside a dashboard.

Case study

Comper ships. We man the cluster.

A highly available, multi-cluster observability platform for an AI-powered code intelligence platform: designed, delivered and operated end to end.

  • Multi-cluster Kubernetes
  • Metrics · Logs · Traces · Profiles
  • Managed Operations
BC helped us out quickly by setting up observability in our Kubernetes clusters. The setup is highly available and Victor was very responsive during the whole process.

Kubernetes +Cloud Operations

Your platform runs. The problem is what happens when it has to change. We make upgrades routine and deployments reviewable, so the cluster stops being the thing everyone is afraid to touch.

  1. 01Staging cluster

    Rehearsed

    Upgrades proven off production

    Every Kubernetes upgrade runs first on a production-like cluster. Deprecated APIs are audited, add-ons checked and node pools rolled under Pod Disruption Budgets, so the production run is a repeat, not a first attempt.

    • Deprecated API audit
    • Add-on compatibility
    • Pod Disruption Budgets respected
  2. 02Pull request

    Reviewable

    Every change is a pull request

    Cluster and cloud configuration live in Git. Terraform plans and Argo CD diffs are reviewed before they apply, and drift from Git is detected rather than discovered.

    • Terraform plan in review
    • Argo CD diff per change
    • Drift detection
  3. 03Production

    Reversible

    Rollback is a reverted commit

    Because the cluster's desired state is Git, undoing a change means reverting it. Argo CD reconciles production back to the last known-good state, without anyone running kubectl by hand.

    • One-commit rollback
    • Automated reconciliation
    • Runbook for the next upgrade

Transparent pricing

Builds run as fixed-scope projects, so the cost is clear before we begin. Once your stack is running, a monthly plan keeps it healthy.
